Welcome! avanarsdale. Do you know the names of the tomatoes you have? If you do we can look up how long they typically take to ripen. I have to go with cultivars that ripen quickly in my area. I'm having problems with blossom end rot in one of my tomato cultivars this year, which is caused by a calcium deficiency that is usually related to fluctuating soil moisture content, which I know was the case here, so I would be hesitant to withhold water to any extent if they seem to be doing OK other than being green. Mine have only recently start to ripen. Some heirloom cultivars can take a long time.

Edited to remove link on blossom end rot and fluctuating soil moisture that didn't work, will try and find another - hopefully this one works:
